To quote a well known phrase, "Location,location,location."   Being down in Devon there are only a limited number of photographers there and for many of us photographers it is a long way to travel especially with the cost of travel as it is.
I have the reverse problem up in Surrey, Where have all the models gone.  Too many head for London I fear, leaving us with a shortage here.
If you are ever up this way let me know and I will happily arrange a shoot for you.

I agree with Karada. Can you move to Surrey? Not so many models here.

I may be down Devon way in the next few weeks...

Yes I think it sucks that everything is about London, like when I was going to enter a model contest in Manchester, it turned out that if I was chosen as one of the finalists, I would have to go to London to finish the competition!
I thought well "forget it then, I can't afford to travel to blinking London and leave all my animals behind"
It's so annoying, Manchester is a city, why can't they just do model related things here?
Why is it always about London just because it's the capital of England, there are other places :/

Yes it is a problem.  I am not far from London (35 miles) but I hardly ever go there unless I have to.  I can take the train but even off-peak it is quite expensive and it is impractical if taking a lot of equipment.
There appear to be models in this area but most of them are not active and don't respond to emails, casting calls, etc.
Again I can't travel too far or for too long because of the animals.  I have an Akita puppy (4 months) one old cat (16) and two kittens, a dozen or so chickens, a turkey and a dozen Quail.  The pup needs walking 3 or 4 times a day as it is going to be a big dog - already eating a kilo of meat a day!
I am starting to get a few models approaching me, which is good, and I have arranged a couple of shoots with them.  My last model came from Birmingham but was staying at Bognor so we did a shoot there and now one of her friends wants a shoot and is prepared to travel from Birmingham for it.  So it is not all doom and gloom, just feels a bit like it!

Have you ever tried to get to Devon this time of year?
I live in Southampton, my Son in Bournemouth. Winter time 30min run, Summer it can be 90mins.
Devon - forget it. - Now if you want to come to Southampton?
